Elegant and stylish, with supple plum and black cherry fruit that's fleshy textured, picking up fresh herb, anise and loamy mineral flavors that give it complexity and depth. Firm tannins.Inc. VAT£703.24 -
Vinous (88)
(12.5% alcohol; 16-1/2 days of skin contact): Dark medium red. Musky aromas of plum and leather. Boasts good energy and vinosity but only moderate flavor development, with the currant and leather flavors showing a strong green pepper element that suggests the vines were picked too early. Interestingly, Geneviève Janssens noted that through the '80s, the vineyard manager at Mondavi selected the date of the harvest and typically picked early. Since then, however, the winemakers have spent much more time in the vineyards and have been responsible for harvesting decisions.Inc. VAT£2,484.00 -
